When you come to think about it, the ground being so dry, makes perfect sense with the incredible time, as not having to wade through mud must`ve not only saved a lot of time, but also energy too.Yeah you'd have to say that looks like it's staying in the record books for a while. Although if more overseas runners come and have a dig at it, then who knows. I don't know much about the ultra running scene but the guy sounds like he's The Boss, so it could be one for the ages.
Apparently the conditions were a key part of such an epic time, a lot of boggy ground in the Lakes is as dry as it's been in living memory.
